DBWSBuilder using ANT

This example illustrates how DBWSBuilder can be invoked from ANT generating all of the required artifacts to the file system, compiling them, and finally packaging them in a web archive that can be deployed to an active WebLogic instance.

File layout for this example:

   <example-root>
   |
   |  build.properties
   |  build.xml
   |  dbws-builder.xml
   | 
   \---jlib
   |
   |   eclipselink.jar
   |   eclipselink-dbwsutils.jar
   |   javax.servlet.jar
   |   javax.wsdl.jar
   |   ojdbc6.jar
   |   org.eclipse.persistence.oracleddlparser.jar
   |
   \---stage
   |
   |   (Artifacts will be generated here, most notably simpletable.war)
   |

To run the DBWS builder in this example, simply type ant in the example-root directory. The builder packages the generated artifacts into the web archive simpletable.war, which is placed the the stage directory. This .war file can then be deployed to WebLogic.

dbws-builder.xml

Following is the builder XML file used in this example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <properties>
    <property name="projectName">simpletable</property>
    ... database properties
  </properties>
 
  <table
    schemaPattern="SCOTT"
    tableNamePattern="SIMPLETABLE"
  />
</dbws-builder>

build.xml

Following is the build XML file used for this example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="simpletable" default="build">
  <property file="${basedir}/build.properties"/>
 
  <path id="build.path">
    <fileset
      dir="${jlib.dir}"
      includes="eclipselink.jar 
                eclipselink-dbwsutils.jar 
                org.eclipse.persistence.oracleddlparser.jar 
                javax.wsdl.jar 
                javax.servlet.jar 
                ojdbc6.jar"
      >
    </fileset>
  </path>
 
  <target name="build">
    <java
      classname="org.eclipse.persistence.tools.dbws.DBWSBuilder"
      fork="true"
      classpathRef="build.path"
      >
      <arg line="-builderFile ${dbws.builder.file} -stageDir ${stage.dir} -packageAs ${server.platform} ${ant.project.name}.war"/>
    </java>
  </target>
</project>

build.properties

Following is the build properties file used for this example:

custom = true
build.sysclasspath=ignore
 
stage.dir=${basedir}/stage
jlib.dir=${basedir}/jlib
server.platform=wls
dbws.builder.file=dbws-builder.xml
